as the use of antimicrobials and the extension of the list of products

important items the group works on.

Mandate:
Transporting live animals over long distance is already for decades
a great concern for animal welfare and still stays today. The working
group on transport greatly contributed to the Regulation No 1/2005
on the protection of animals during transport. It also contributed
to the abolishment of export refunds for live animals. After the adoption
of the Regulation the group continued to work on implementation issues
and currently already on the revision of the transport Regulation.
This long standing group was formed in 2001 and was revised in 2009.

| ECOVE - European Committee of
Veterinary Education (former JEC) |
Mandate:
For many years, EAEVE together with FVE runs evaluation visits of
veterinary teaching establishments. The objective of the Evaluation
system is to help ensure a comparable level of veterinary training
in Europe, as laid down by Directive 2005/36/EC (DA, DE,
EL, EN, ES, FI, FR, IT,
NL, PT, SV). To this end, the EAEVE and FVE arranges
for teams of veterinary experts to carry out evaluation visits to
veterinary schools and faculties in Europe.
After the visit, reports are submitted to the European Committee of
Veterinary Education (ECOVE), consisting of members of EAEVE and FVE,
who will then formally adopt the report. If a school has no category
one deficiencies it can apply to be put on the "List of visited
and approved faculties" (The positive list).
The Committees shall be appointed for a two-years term and may be
re-appointed no more than twice. Not all members shall be changed
at the same time. |

| ECCVT – European Coordinating
Committee for Veterinary Training |
 |
Mandate:
The three organisations the “European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education” (EAEVE), the “European Board for Veterinary Specialisation” (EBVS) and FVE all have a strong interest in the training of veterinarians in Europe. To coordinate their goals and actions, the boards of directors and executive committees of the three organisations meet regularly. For this purpose, 2 joint committees were developed. The first one is the Joint Education Committee (see above) which looks upon the evaluation reports. The second one, the European Coordinating Committee for Veterinary Training (previously Joint Policy Committee) has a more political remit; it can propose policies of joint interest, which relate to recognition of the professional - especially professional qualification, continuing development and specialisation, - to the three boards.
The Committees shall be appointed for a two-years term and may be re- appointed no more than twice. Not all members shall be changed at the same time.
